Deprecated

This plugin is no longer being worked on as the functionality provided by this plugin is now included in cordova-ios 4.5.0 or greater, and support is already built in to cordova-windows > 5.0.0. You should upgrade your application to use version 2.0.0 of this plugin. It will detect whether or not the plugin is required based on the version of cordova-ios and cordova-windows your app uses.
Please file issues for this plugin against their respective platforms (cordova-ios, cordova-windows).

Description

This plugin is meant to ensure that console.log() is as useful as it can be.
It adds additional function for iOS, Ubuntu, Windows Phone 8, and Windows. If
you are happy with how console.log() works for you, then you probably
don't need this plugin.

This plugin defines a global console object.

Although the object is in the global scope, features provided by this plugin
are not available until after the deviceready event.

Installation

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-console

Android Quirks

On some platforms other than Android, console.log() will act on multiple
arguments, such as console.log("1", "2", "3"). However, Android will act only
on the first argument. Subsequent arguments to console.log() will be ignored.
This plugin is not the cause of that, it is a limitation of Android itself.

Supported Methods

The plugin support following methods of the console object:

console.log

console.error

console.exception

console.warn

console.info

console.debug

console.assert

console.dir

console.dirxml

console.time

console.timeEnd

console.table

Partially supported Methods

Methods of the console object which implemented, but behave different from browser implementation:

console.group

console.groupCollapsed

The grouping methods are just log name of the group and don't actually indicate grouping for later
calls to console object methods.
